An act of the last Legislature makes it
a penal oGcnce for any dealer in farm pro-
duce to allow the purchaser to take away
the basket in which it is contained, with
out first depositing the value thereof with
the dealer, to be refunded when the basket
is returned; provided, however, that the
basket has the owners name thereon.
This act is for the protection of farmers
and others who raise produce and take 1t
to stores or other places for sale IN their
own baskets. Storekeepers and others
sometimes allow the baskets to be taken
away by the purchasers, and the farmer is
out in many cases just that much.
